Today, I bought Dell Inspiron 15 3521 Laptop to continue with my experiment & transition. Why a new laptop one might ask! the reason being obvious that my wife and kid are not used to Linux at this point and it will become a headache for me. (more…)

I was on a company tour to Sri Lanka starting our journey from Oct 13, 2012 from Lahore airport til Oct 21, 2012 along with my good friend and coworker Hamza. It was an amazing time spent there. Cant believe the country has evolved a lot since the civil war ended in 2009. (more…)

A few months ago, I was on LET trying to create a wiki about all the stuff that people usually ask repeated questions for (including me). I checked that LowEndWiki.com was already registered so I created a LET topic asking if the owner is still on LET and reading that thread and would want to sell/transfer the ownership to me. I later learned that its with Chief. I later contacted him for the same and he said he has plans for it and I should use the current outdated LowEndTalk Wiki, which I am obviously not apart from a few smaller pages. Coming back to the LET topic I created in the first place, it quickly derailed and to my surprise I found the owner of lowendscript.com, who wanted me…

I needed to get my HTC Desire HD's volume key repaired even though it was Nnot in warrenty and Not purchased from Brightex but to my surprise the helpline was very proactive and welcome-ing in offering their services. Of course the services were paid for but at least I had the peace of mind for getting them fixed from the pros. Thats another reason to buy HTC hardware HTC Helpline in Lahore is being offered by Brightex, the official distributor of HTC at 111-111-HTC (111-111-482)

As promised, I previously reviewed the 3G150M model (without battery) and this time I am going to review the 3G150B (with battery model) [caption id="attachment_1267" align="aligncenter" width="584"] Tenda Portable 3G wireless router 3G150B[/caption] Although the battery model is more attractive and more widely used (Im using 3G150B more as compared to 3G150M) it control panel interface is fairly basic which is a set back for me and im sure for most other users as well. But still, its the best out there There was also an advertisement in Spider magazine for the month of April 2012 as can be seen in the following photo [caption id="attachment_1268" align="aligncenter" width="584"] Spider Advertisement of Tenda Portable 3G wireless router 3G150B in April 2012[/caption] [gallery link="file"] This Tenda device cost approx Rs. 4200 in…

Finally, after weeks of waiting, Youtube has restored my video removed due to copyright claim by WHMCS (yeah, right!!) Today, I saw the email that the video in question has been restored. This video was created by me and uploaded on Youtube as a proof of what I was seeing when WHMCS was hacked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGlf-HBPXK8

Like native Panoramic mode in the Android Ice Cream Sandwich camera (Android v 4.0.4), I also have Native screenshots capability (just didn't knew how to use it until 3 weeks ago) with my OTA update to ICS. All I have to do is, hit the power and the volume down key at once to take the screenshot.

So, I installed the The Avengers Live Wallpapers for my Android Phone since it was on Google Play's (previously known as Google Market) feature list [caption id="attachment_1106" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="The Avengers Live Wallpaper as featured on Google Play"][/caption] Almost immediately after installing it, I could see annoying little nag screens on every screen unlock, like the one you can see in the screenshot below. [caption id="attachment_1107" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="The Avengers Live Wallpaper nag screens"][/caption] Which is pretty nasty way to convince me to buy the pro version. I uninstalled it right away. I highly recommend everyone not to install it on their cell else you'll have to uninstall it later. Update: I have posted a review on Google Play, you can read it here
